PRESSURE AND FLOW ADJUSTMENT IN MINI CHILLER WITH CENTRIFUGAL PUMP
The Mini is available with a range of pump options. Low pressure requirements are best served by the quieter and
mechanically looser centrifugal types
– the flow of these items is dictated by the backpressure of the pipework
through which it must pump. Reviewing the pump flow curve can indicate the flow expected. Centrifugal pumps
have such a limited maximum pressure, that the water circuit components alone can hold the pressure, and no
pressure relief valve is fitted.
If further limitation of pressure is required, a flow control valve can be fitted to either the outlet or inlet of the
chiller, depending on whether the application is to be pressurized or not.
